mrkgnao: There's a known bug that the manual sort does not work if you have more than 626 games on your shelf. Seriously.
If you have more, you can either give up on manual sort, or hide enough games that the number of displayed games is no more than 626.
Haven't tried any of this myself (as I only use list mode), but this has been reported by others.
I was the one who tested and reported it and it seems I have to correct myself. I checked again and today the maximal number that worked was 628. So everybody can unhide two games again.

Good news!

But... But... But... I was sure it was 626 because of Stitch (a.k.a. Experiment 626) from "Lilo & Stitch".
What does 628 mean?

Good work! +1.

P.S. Sorry for not crediting you in my post(s).

Not sure about the meaning. But I wonder if it was 626 when I first checked and the number of games on your shelf you can sort is slowly expanding? You know, like the universe.

Maybe that's the secret connection to (GOG) Galaxy???

Now that you mention it, I find it more plausible that the limit has changed than that you had made a mistake earlier on. Time shall tell.

As for 628, here is what I found:
- As you know, February 25 is an important date in GOG annals. On that day in 2015, GOG introduced regional banning, just one day after February 24, which is when it released its 1000th game/DLC.
- Well, according to Wikipedia, on February 25, 628: "February 25 – Khosrau II, the last great king of the Sasanian Empire, is overthrown by his son Kavadh II. Kavadh II's coronation speech is the first recorded use in history of the phrase 'good news' (it sounds better in Middle Persian)".
- Wikipedia also has for the same year: "September 6 – Ardashir III, age 7, succeeds his father Kavadh II as the twenty-fourth king of the Sasanian Empire on the latter's death from plague."

Therefore, I, Punxsutawney Phil, seer of seers, prognosticator of prognosticators, now predict that something big will happen here on or about September 6, 2015. Mark my words.

Now that the games are unbundled, King's Quest II and King's Quest III both show the title as "Romancing the Throne." Is it possible to show the correct title for King's Quest III (To Heir is Human)?

Possible? Well of course. Likely? Hmm, not so much. Why you ask? "only absolutely crucial fixes are made to the current system". But don't worry, your current shelf is quite likely going to be replaced by something more like [url=https://embed.gog.com/library/windows]this.

Meanwhile, I remembered that February 25 is also the date:
- on which the Fallout bug began
- that most of the unbundled installers (of the first wave) bear

Either that or we're doomed to repeat the same day over and over for over a year until we realize what horrible people we are. :P
Just a bit of feedback.

I found the unbundling of Heroes Chronicles to be extremely inconvenient.

The download size is much larger due to all of the redundant shared components between episodes as well as the fact that it's in 8 pieces to begin with.

Please continue to offer a complete download version as well for all of the unbundled games (especially the large ones like Heroes Chronicles).
I think GOG threw the most bitter complaining customers in a time loop or why does Khalbrae brings us the Good News for Heroes Chronlcles?

For quite a while, this thread has been a write-only thread. People don't bother to read previous posts. See, for example, the numerous times the KQ2/KQ3 cover has been mentioned anew.

The same could be said for all long threads (the amount of times that people asked about not getting their free AVP Classic 2000 code right away was astonishing).

True that.
Hm, with the unbundling of Mysteries of the Sith and the sad fact that it simply uses Jedi Knight's box art again, I've come to realize something. I'd like some Origin in my GOG. Specifically, the ability to add custom icons that I can use in my library, >_>

PixelBoy: Wow. That's unbelievable, but it actually seems to work.
Thanks.

Hope GOG will fix this soon, because it's really a problem caused, or at least made much worse, by them when creating all those "new" games to the shelf.

dirtyharry50: Considering how easy it is to hide anything you don't want to see I don't know why anybody would get upset about this change.
avatar
PixelBoy: It is anything but easy.

To hide a game, you need to click twice. First to open the game-specific menu, and then clicking the hide option. So to hide, let's say 10 games, you need to click 20 times.
Of course it's the same when making a game visible again (plus that one extra click to unhide all hidden games).

So to go full show-hide-unhide circle for 10 games, you actually need to click (at least) 41 times.
That's maybe easy as in "not difficult to do", but not easy as in "convenient".
Yeah, now that you mention it that is really rough. I hope you never try to play Diablo or anything like it. I don't think your tender finger could take all those murderous clicks it takes to play. I get tired myself just thinking about it. ;-)

On a more serious note, are you telling me that you are actually going to hide and then unhide and then hide again some 10 or more games at the same time? Because if you are I'm sorry but I cannot understand that behavior for the life of me and as such it doesn't impress me as any valid reason to consider this a problem of any magnitude.

That said, if it bothers you, it bothers you. I just differ in that it doesn't phase me at all but then I am not about to sit down and make a project of fiddling with my shelf even if there was no client in the making. It's the kind of thing I'd be inclined to do either as I went or bits at a time.

Wait, am I supposed to actually know what is going on here and the context of comments made before just injecting whatever I feel like? Seriously? I must be on the wrong internet. ;-)
